PREFACE
Men find approaching women in a romantic or sexual context difficult.
This is nothing new - it has been the case for centuries. We all know novels, films and songs that concern the very specific trouble guys have with putting their balls on the line, walking up to a girl they dont know (or dont know very well) and telling her that she is attractive and rocks his world.
You might think that after so long - and after so many YouTube videos, books, blog posts and motivational Twitter threads on the subject - men would have got used to approaching girls and that this would have become less of an issue.
Unfortunately, though, thats not the case.
Earlier this year I ran a reader survey which aimed to find out what guys main problems were in the field of dating and relationships. Since Ive been writing and creating content on this for a few years now, Id assumed - naively - that my audience would be interested in more advanced topics like how to date multiple girls at the same time, how to break up with a long-term girlfriend, how to handle jealousy, and so on.
I was wrong. Overwhelmingly, the survey revealed that mens main issue remains the thorny challenge of walking up to girls and telling them that they are attractive, and that they would like to get to know them better.
So marked was the desire for information, help and encouragement that it was clear I needed to provide more help. Which is how this book was conceived.
I spent a long time thinking very hard about my own former difficulties with approaching, and how I went about correcting them. These days, while it would be wrong to say that Im an entirely fearless approacher, Im certainly able to go up to a girl in most circumstances and start a conversation with her, and Im not overly concerned whether she rejects me or not.
My story, which Ill outline in a moment, is somewhat unusual since I went from pretty much being what these days is called an incel (or involuntary celibate, a guy who would like to have sex but is unable to find a woman willing to do so with him) to being a party-going fuckboy with not much in between. I suspect for a lot of men the change is less dramatic, but my experience is useful as it has shown me what is possible in transforming ones dating skills. I am now in a position to pass that information on to you.
In truth, though, all I did was learn to shift my mindset from that of a shy, retiring, bookish and nerdy beta towards that of a typical Chad. And the effect this had on my dating life was incalculable.
We will talk in more detail later about who Chad is, and why learning to act like him will put you in an advantageous position with women later. For now, just understand that Chad is shorthand used online to describe an archetypal jock - good-looking, chiselled jaw, perfects abs and pecs, tall, well-dressed, confident, and so on.
(Go on, admit it - you hate him already, dont you?!)
The breakthrough for me came about when I realised that by simply acting more like Chad - even without actually being him - my success in the dating arena increased exponentially.
So much so that when it came to writing this book, and I considered how best to organise the information I want to pass on to you, I saw that CHAD could serve as an acronym for the key characteristics we must acquire if we want to achieve massive results in this area.
These are:
- Crass
- Humorous
- Actorly
- Deluded
But Im getting ahead of myself. Hold that thought for a moment. Before we start to learn about the solution we must first identify and define the problem. In the next section Im going to talk about what approach anxiety is, and why some guys suffer from it so acutely.
Ill then go on to talk about the mythical Chad, explaining why he is apparently immune to approach anxiety. Well take in the characteristics that gives him his seeming superpower.
Then, time for the fun part. In the following four sections Ill discuss CHAD in detail - Crass, Humorous, Actorly, Deluded - and Ill fill in the blanks by giving you specific and actionable advice on what exactly you need to do to be more like Chad under each of these descriptors.
After that, well pull everything together in a final summary.
And then, my friend, the rest is up to you.
The choice of whether you remain a meek, mild, timid bystander watching others lick the lid of life and enjoy its spoils; or you embrace your inner Chad and set your dating world on fire, is entirely yours.
1. WHY IS APPROACHING GIRLS SO DIFFICULT?
Before we get into the meat of this section, I want to make it clear that my focus in this book is on approaching girls that you dont know - girls that you meet when you are out and about in coffee shops, malls, bars, clubs and so on.
What Im not talking about here is how to approach Stacey, that hot girl from Accounts who youve worked with for five years and barely spoken to because you are too intimidated by her divine beauty.
If there is such a girl in your life that you are pining over then my advice is to forget all about her immediately, and instead use the techniques put forward in this book to meet new girls instead. This isnt a book about the problem of oneitus (or unrequited love - when a guy gets fixated on a particular girl who likely doesnt reciprocate his feelings). But lets be clear - oneitus is a bad thing. And as a wiser man than me has said, its far easier to make things work with a new girl than it is to try to breath life into a scenario where youve already messed up with.
And make no mistake, if you havent made your feelings known to Stacey after five years then youve messed up.
The Terror of Cold Approaching
OK then. Picture the scene. Youre in a nightclub, nursing an ice-cold drink, staring nervously around, and then you see HER - and shes amazing! A stunning, beautiful angel who could have walked straight out of one of your dreams (or off a Victorias Secret catwalk).
Shes blonde, with long, straight hair running down her back and over her bare shoulders. Shes in a red dress that perfectly fits her marvelous curves and brings out her lipstick. She has big, blue eyes that are fixed intently on some spot in the middle distance. She is in high heels that accentuates the length and beauty of her legs.
